We are the Mice: Reflecting on The Sparrow

http://wearethemice.blogspot.com/2008/04/reflecting-on-sparrow.html

We are the Mice. Speak softly (and throw big rocks). Sunday, April 13, 2008. Reflecting on The Sparrow. One thing I liked about the general conversation about The Sparrow. Was the mention that it was treated as though it's "better" than sci-fi. Which makes me think of the quote. I've always liked the idea of a special Hugo to be awarded (by force, perhaps) to literary authors who. Write books dripping with themes filleted from mainstream SF and then deny that it's science fiction. All the stars in the sk...

We are the Mice. Speak softly (and throw big rocks). Tuesday, May 6, 2008. Substantive post, Look to Windward. Are the five billion people that Quilan is supposed to kill guilty simply because they were complacent in what happened during the war all those years ago and have done nothing to make up for it since then? I wouldn't say that starting the way that Look to Windward. May 6, 2008 at 8:09 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Liberals and anarchists and post scarcity oh My!

We are the Mice: Refection for Children Of God

http://wearethemice.blogspot.com/2008/05/refection-for-children-of-god.html

We are the Mice. Speak softly (and throw big rocks). Thursday, May 1, 2008. Refection for Children Of God. Firstly, there has been a lot of impressions that the novel offered a simple idea of whether there is a god or not (see the two previous posts and comments. A more interesting angle was how did believe or the degree of believe affect the different members. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Liberals and anarchists and post scarcity oh My!

Was it really nothing to do with technological might and infecting the natives with disease, i.e. smallpox? OR is it a combination of these factors that caused history to play out the way it did. Like I said, I don't know the answer or even my own opinion about it but it is a point that I found very interesting to contemplate. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Conquest by Traffic Sign.

We are the Mice: For the Love of God come Armed

http://wearethemice.blogspot.com/2008/04/for-love-of-god-come-armed.html

We are the Mice. Speak softly (and throw big rocks). Tuesday, April 8, 2008. For the Love of God come Armed. Though its no surprise that naiveté is the rule of the day. Jesus has ordained this mission so of course everything will work out real well. That is…if Jesus actually gave a flying crap. The willful delusions of the expedition’s leadership to assume that things were ordained and that the intelligent life would never attack them were poorly advised. That and bringing only one Lander. Reflective pos...

We are the Mice: Columbus, Card, and the Alien

http://wearethemice.blogspot.com/2008/04/columbus-card-and-alien.html

We are the Mice. Speak softly (and throw big rocks). Sunday, April 20, 2008. Columbus, Card, and the Alien. This serves as both my Substantive and Reflective Posts for Todorov]. My first thought in the first few chapters about Columbus was how well Orson Scott Card's novel Pastwatch. It is hard to truly conceptualize what this would mean, let alone how an individual or humanity as a group would handle it. But looking at Todorov and pasts where we have met alien humans for the first time probably is t...

We are the Mice: My Problem with PTJ’s Post

http://wearethemice.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-problem-with-ptjs-post.html

We are the Mice. Speak softly (and throw big rocks). Thursday, May 1, 2008. My Problem with PTJ’s Post. So unlike Chris I haven’t had the free time to write a delightfully detailed rebuttal to PTJ’s. However I figure I can at least provide a “short” (700-1000 word not that short for most but compared to chris? I do not agree. Science and God are not parallel in a social context. Faith is a subjective personal attribute that defies rationality and is pretty near impossible to convey through language.

Was he doing this because he knew that this was an easy way to get what he wanted in the end? Maybe Cortez is proof that it is possible to understand, sympathize, and even feel sorry for someone, but still destroy them in the end. May 5, 2008 at 4:33 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
